Long-time PDF expert Duff Johnson has shared some of his initial thoughts on Google’s new Chrome browser:
I had wondered if Google was going to (try to) write their own PDF viewer for Chrome. Not this time; the installer seems to find and use the Acrobat/Reader plugin, assuming it’s already installed into Firefox or (presumably) IE. That’s a good start.

Rowan reported back in late June that (very) popular PDF Download 2.0 Firefox add-on had hit beta, well, now after almost a month, its ready for center stage.

Once you have installed PrintPDF simply go to File > Print to PDF to convert the web page you are currently …
